Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 10, 2012, sent to the company Aug 28, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 19, 2012
The product, in the report: Blow dryer. Porcelain Ceramic by BaByliss PRO. Small, compact blow dryer, pink.
I was blow drying my hair with a small, Porcelain Ceramic blow dryer by BaByliss PRO when a bad, burning smell filled the room. The dryer was shaking and sending small shocks down my arm. I turned it off to let it cool as I thought it had gotten overheated. I waited about 10 minutes and tried again. It was ok for about 20 seconds and then it started making a grinding noise and smoke began to come out. I turned it off, unplugged it and put it aside. The next time I tried to dry my hair, the same thing happened. I knew something was very wrong and I was afraid to ever use it again. It was a very powerful dryer. I liked that it was lightweight and easy to use. I figured it was just getting old. I went online to see if I could buy a new one just like it and there were a few on amazon and eBay. I read some reviews and saw where another person had the same experience. Then I saw the recall notice. I’m so glad I saw it as I was about to buy another one just like it!! It seemed to be a great little blow dryer but I was truly terrified when it started smoking and sending shocks down my arm. I think the review and this recall saved my life.
